I don’t consider myself vain. But I’ve got this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that I think may have something to do with ego. Or fear.
It’s about three weeks now since I decided to go in the World’s Greatest Shave.
Recently, I interviewed two amazing sisters Camille and Marcia Baker.
Camille had been diagnosed with the rare chronic lymphatic leukemia in 2002.
In a bid to save her life, Marcia was injected with special medicine to create bone-marrow stem cells which were then removed from her body and injected into her sister.
The operation was a success and Camille is now healthier than she’s ever been – she even has a new blood type, thanks to her sister.
The strength and optimism of the Baker sisters flawed me.
And the thing about having leukaemia, and many other forms of cancer or cancer treatment, is you don’t have a choice about losing your hair.
It falls out in clumps.
So, I figure, if I can choose to have my head shaved and raise money to help people like the Bakers – well, why not?

Good on you. You should stick “before'’ and “after'’ pix on nook for us to laugh at, and then we’ll all feel guilty and sponsor you.
It is a great sacrifice you make, my friend, the good news is its the summer months so your head won’t be tooooo cold hopefully…..
What a wonderful, heart-warming and generous gesture. Good on you!
